Fridays are so wonderful.. weird that it makes me happy when I have to work tomorrow but.. it's just something about the thought of the weekend isn't it? I have stayed off my computer since thursday morning pretty much..and it's amazing how much one can get done...lol First off I was panicking because I had dates wrong in my head.. thinking I only had a week till that show.. but someone set me straight today and I have 2!! 2 whole weeks!!! lol...so a little of the panic is gone..Then I thought Yike's it's Easter next weekend.. and I should see what the store does for these holidays... I do not want to miss dinner on Easter sunday...There are times that living in a small town is alright.. we have a by-law that we can't be open Good Friday or Easter Sunday! Apparently the store does require you to be open those days if we didn't.. Yay! for small towns!
Anyways.. this is what I finished off since yesterday....
I know you say.. I still see those teapots in the background...lol.. soon soon... I have 2 more of the Our Friendship coffee signs done.. and 2 of these new ones... for my tea drinking friends...
I don't do any trimming or anything of the shingles.. just sanding so sometimes they are a little different shape.. character is what they have...lol
It seems forever since I joined a site called
Willowing & Friends I have watched the first class but haven't had time to watch the other one yet.. but from the first one I did this sketch.. I kinda wrecked her face abit on one side.. didn't realize that it wasn't good to use watercolor pencils on a wet paper.. so... but I still love her.. it's my first sketch/watercolor piece like this...she's not perfect but I do love how the shading in her hair came out... I love what everyone is doing on there and would so love to have time to go and hang out there..
I saw the most beautiful clip on You Tube today.. but I am not sure how to put it on here. It's called the
Power of Words...
Ok that link worked... It is so true on how a word can make such a difference to someone or something.
Well.. that's probably enough rambling for now..lol... I should get back to work.. Have a very lovely weekend.. and keep your fingers crossed that we don't get the predicted snow tonight... please...lol
Thanks for stopping by..
